My Sad New Life

PLEASE READ

This is my first fanfic and I don't really know what I'm doing, so bear with me. First off, I am not going to give you just an author's note without a chapter unless I really can't think of anything to write. I will try to update often. Please review. Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated, but NO FLAMES PLEASE. I'm sorry if the characters are OOC or Mary Sueish (What exactly is a "Mary Sue"?) I think that's all. Now, on with the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

Chapter 1

I walked to school with my books in hand. I am Annabeth Chase, normal high school student. I used to be Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, official architect of Olympus, my boyfriend was Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, savior of Olympus. We went on all kinds of adventures together, I saved him dozens of times and he saved me. We saved the whole world together with our friends at our side.

But those days are over, thanks to my father. I still yearn for my old life, adventures, monsters, danger, love, even all the pain and misery that comes with being a demigod. My life was good until that fateful day when my father ripped it all apart.

FLASHBACK

"Annabeth, I would like to talk to you in private please." My father told me.

"Sure," I replied, following him into his office.

When he closed the door, he turned to me with a disapproving face. "I do not approve of your life style," he told me. "All this dangerous stuff is too much for you. I especially don't approve of your boyfriend, Perseus Jackson."

I stared at him in disbelief. What did he know about what is 'too much' for me? He couldn't control my life.

"His name is Percy!" I snapped. "And why do you disapprove? He is loving, kind, and unswervingly loyal. He would never do anything to hurt me."

"He is a bad influence for you. You follow him into dangerous situations and I am going to put an end to it. You are no longer allowed to see him, or go to Camp Half-Blood, of see any of your demigod friends. You are also not allowed to carry weapons, hand over the knife."

"What! No! Percy is not a bad influence! It is my choice to follow him! And I would follow him anywhere! And I won't give you my knife, you can't tell me what to do! I yelled.

"Young lady, I am your father, you will do as I say, it is for the best. You are going to go to high school and be a normal teenage girl."

"No, you can't tell me what to do! You're just a mortal!"

"You are too, Annabeth. Now I will hear no more of this nonsense, Greek gods don't exist, not anymore." I just stared at him. I would never listen to him; I would run away again, I would do something.

"Just so you know I have security cameras all over the house with police officers watching the footage, all the time. Now, the knife."

"No, I'll be defenseless."

"Teenage girls don't carry knifes, they carry purses." Then he ripped the knife out of my hands and walked out of the room.

I felt like screaming, who was he to do this to me? He is your father. But that still didn't give him the right to pull me out of my life and away from my friends. Did it? No, he did not have the right to take away my happiness.

I stormed up to my room. I went to my closet; he wouldn't take away my camp shirt.

I looked in and screamed. He had already gotten to my closet, all of my t-shirts, jeans, shorts and tennis shoes were replaced by miniskirts, dresses, high heels, and tiny shirts.

I looked around, my father had gotten to my entire room, my pictures of Camp and my friends were shredded, my notebooks and blueprints replaced by fashion magazines, more pictures of Camp and even more blueprints that were posted on my wall were replaced by posters of movie stars and singers.

I quickly went to my secret storage area underneath a loose floorboard in my closet. I pulled up the floorboard and checked under it.

Thank the gods! I thought as I pulled out the little box, in there, there was a picture of Percy and I holding hands and laughing in the strawberry fields, one of me on Percy's back, him spinning me around, laughing, another one where we were sparring in capture the flag, and the last one was everyone who fought in the war, standing in front of the Empire State Building, swords raised, shouting a victory cry. Along with the pictures, there was a small pouch of three Golden Drachmas. Not many, I would need to make them count. I realized that my father hadn't taken my camp necklace yet. He surely would soon, so I took it off and put it in the box. I grabbed a Golden Drachma and put the box back and moved the floorboard back in place.

I waited until everyone was asleep that night. Then I went to my bathroom and locked the door behind me. I turned on the shower and positioned it to make a rainbow; maybe Iris was in a good mood today, because I made a rainbow pretty easily, maybe she just felt sorry for me. Anyway, I took the drachma and raised it over my head, "O' Iris, goddess of the rainbow, please accept my offering," I threw the coin through the rainbow and it disappeared," Show me Chiron at Camp Half-Blood." Chiron appeared in the rainbow, he was at the campfire. "Chiron!" I called. He looked over and saw me.

"Annabeth, my dear, where are you!"

I told him about what my dad had said and everything he did. By that time, the whole camp had started to listen in.

"Well my dear, we will do what we can but until then, you should listen to him, he is your father.
"No, I can't do this, have you seen what he did to my clothes? He replaced them with strips of fabric; they can't even be considered clothes!"

"We'll do everything we can, Annabeth." I heard Percy say. He had pushed his way to the front of the crowd.

I was about to reply when the bathroom door was forced open, my father was standing was standing in the doorway with two police, the worst part, he was holding my box.

"What do you think you're doing, Annabeth?" Then he turned to the Iris message "If any of you come here, I will take her and move across the world!" Then he turned on me. "You had a box of drachmas hidden in your room?" His voice was calm, but dangerous.

"Yes, I do, now give it back."

"Actually, I think I'll keep it for a while,"

"Give it back to me now," I growled through gritted teeth.

"No, now you are going to stay in your room until school tomorrow." Then he walked out, locking the door behind him.

Great, I'm locked in my room and my father has gone mad. I thought.

Just then a golden light flashed in the corner of the room.

"Mother!" I said, astonished.

"Yes child, I must be quick, this is the last time I will be able to speak to you for a long time. I can foresee that eventually, you will come back to the world of Greek mythology, but until then, you will have to obey your father, disobeying him will just bring you further misery. Bye now, my child, make me proud." And with that, Athena disappeared.

I sighed, I hate my life.
